5447. It was narrated that 'Abdul-Mālik bin 'Umair said: "I heard Muṣ'ab bin Sa'd (narrate) about his father: 'He used to teach us five things, which he said that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to recite in his supplication: 'Allāhumma innī a'ūdhu bika minal-bukhli, wa a'ūdhu bika minal-jubni, wa a'ūdhu bika an uradda ila ardhalil-'umuri, wa a'ūdhu bika min fitnatid-dunyā, wa a'ūdhu bika min 'adhâbil-qabr (O Allāh, I seek refuge in You from miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice, and I seek refuge in You from reaching the age of senility, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of this world, and I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave).'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

5445 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُصْعَبَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ يُعَلِّمُنَا خَمْسًا، كَانَ يَقُولُ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُو بِهِنَّ وَيَقُولُهُنَّ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ»

Commentary

Taking refuge means seeking protection or shielding with Allāh; O Allāh! Keep me protected from these things.
